Chen Hao was in Los Angeles. His office phone and his personal phone between friends and relatives never stopped receiving calls and messages that night. Qiu Yu usually helps to watch some groups, but that night the messages in the group had exploded, with one or two thousand messages in a minute or two.
All the private WeChat messages were full of unread messages, and many people called him directly. The shocking effect of this film was too strong. I believed that he could produce a good work, but I never thought that he could produce it. Such a crazy work is completely unimaginable. Some are congratulating, some are complaining, some are confused, and some are here to release their grievances. Brat, do you know how many people will have insomnia tonight due to your movie? Do you know how many people your movie can cause fear and fear in?
When "The Embalmer" was released, Chen Hao was not as present as before, and he did not go to sleep peacefully. From that night until noon the next day, he was always waiting for data to be fed back from various aspects.
It is truly the first film entirely written and produced by himself. He does not have much ambition to say that this film can catch up with the great scripts given by the system, but he does not want to underestimate himself and compete for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. , winning awards and recognition at some international film festivals, this is the goal.
He doesn't expect much at the box office.
In terms of word-of-mouth, if a film can achieve a balance between praise and criticism, it is considered a success.
The attendance rate in the second half of the night was very poor. The original time period did not allow for good attendance. In addition, after the audience came out of the first premiere, if they were asked by others, they would advise them to come during the day, except for some spontaneous performances. For people who think they are brave and fearless, there are really very few people who watch the show at three or four o'clock in the morning.
People watching will find that after entering the screening room, there are only ten or eight people watching at a time. People like a relatively relaxed environment. If there are so many people in a large screening room, everyone will subconsciously look for a place where there are no people around them. Sit back and wait until the movie is played. In the early morning scenes, there are scenes all over the world where moviegoers are frightened and leave the cinema. No matter how attractive the plot is, they can't hold back their fear and flee.
Everyone is used to Chen Hao showing you a big breaking point in a subtly dull plot. In the past, it was enjoyable to watch, but now it is absolutely scary to watch. Some of Chen Bin's actions can certainly make men excited, but this movie Some of the scenes in it definitely have the power to make you shrink back.
Usually, various media outlets will report feedback to everyone in the form of news as soon as possible, and will also present various hotly discussed topics to the audience. But this time at noon the next day, there were still two or three kittens. , it seems that they are all afraid of saying something wrong, and some feel that they don’t know what to say and want to hear what others say first.
Everyone is waiting, and everyone is afraid that they will be the first to say something, and then think differently from everyone else, and be judged as the one who said the wrong thing.
Other movies have traces to follow. You can follow the context to see clearly what the movie wants to express, and then clearly say it for everyone to see. But with this movie, you will find that you have several perspectives to interpret it. The films interpreted from one perspective are completely different. If you haven't seen it, you will think you are not talking about the same movie.
The simplest interpretation method will have two very extreme cognitive answers.
Looking at this film from a normal perspective, this family has already violated the bottom line. They should receive the punishment they deserve for their criminal behavior. No matter what the reason is, there is no reason or necessity to explain, and they will bear whatever they have to bear.
The best thing about this film is that there are no vague concepts. Wrong is wrong and right is right. It is not sensational, but you need to watch it from a different perspective. You need to take the perspective of the protagonist's family and do it even if you know it is wrong. Only in this way can I protect what I want to protect. If I make a mistake, I don't feel that I am right. I just have to make a mistake to cover up what I want to cover up. It's that simple.
If you were Chen Bin, what would you do? Regardless of whether you have the strength and courage, let me ask you whether you have the desire to protect yourself and your family.
As for the media, in the afternoon, some online media began to release some news in a tentative way, and the rating websites of major film and television genres also started voting for ratings. With the number of ratings this drama received in just over two hours, Three or four points, most of them are still three points. Everyone has different scoring criteria. The overall score of this film is almost all in the middle range. Some people criticize it as useless, and some admire it, but most of them will He thought in his heart to post a movie review or short review, and then give it a score of about three points. He himself didn't know what the appropriate score should be.
Good and bad.
It seems that there is no way to define this film in this way. You will say a lot, and you will also think a lot, but if you have to use one sentence to define whether this movie is good or not, just like when you walk out of a movie theater and someone else asks you if this movie is good, you will turn your head. Thinking about it, I can't find an accurate word to answer him. I can only say that this film is difficult to explain, so I'd better watch it myself.
Compared with the previous "Forrest Gump", this time it's really hard to say. A person's perspective of appreciation and the perspective of judging right and wrong are different. Some people who watch "The Embalmer" directly seek out the dark side of their hearts, while others Some people think this is real life and it’s really enjoyable to watch.
Chen Hao arranged a simple interview in the afternoon. Facing the excited expressions of the media reporters, his inner excitement calmed down. The facts of the past ten hours told him that the new film "Departures" was successful. Even if it could not achieve the achievements of great films such as "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Forrest Gump", as a controversial film, it had achieved the desired effect.
After the interview, he left Los Angeles and flew directly to Shanghai. He wore an eye mask and slept directly above Shanghai before being woken up.
The first thing he did after getting off the plane was to read the mobile phone information that Qiu Yu showed him. It contained the single-day box office of "Departures" in North America, which was just over 10 million. This data seemed insignificant, but the effect was that it increased the number of screens for the film in North America. After 24 hours, hot discussions and hot news began to emerge. Just like the ratings on the Internet, the popularity of this film once exceeded "Forrest Gump", but the word of mouth was mixed. In the past, it was all one-sided discussions, and everyone felt that it was boring. There was no stimulation from the opponent and no more crazy counterattack.
The reviews of "Departures" are polarized. Now there is an opponent, which is also stimulating. The two sides are back and forth. The comments under a post on the Internet are mutually offensive, and no one is willing to give in. Nowadays, the black fans are also quite skilled. This opportunity is so good. Follow the team to fight with the stubborn guys of Haomen. You say it is good, we say it is not good, and we have reasons and evidence. Let's see who can get more support in the end.
What is the truth of speech?
If people follow the crowd, and more people say it, it will become the truth even if it is not the truth.
Chen Hao put the thoughts of "Departures" aside. Without the mainland box office, the statistics on the Chinese side are a little slower. The box office in Hong Kong and Formosa is good. The box office share of this film in North America for one day is almost enough to earn back the investment. You must know that the construction of the small street is not included in the investment. It will be turned into an inn later. As a movie shooting attraction, it will become a unique landscape in the overall scenic area of the Lost City in the future.
The group got on a modified Toyota Coaster, which could only seat 11 or 12 people. It had independent and comfortable seats. There were fresh fruits on the lift table in the car, and there were enough drinks and some high-end cakes in the car refrigerator.
Coming out of the Magic City Airport, they headed straight to the film and television city more than 300 kilometers away. Along the way, Qiu Yu sat in the front co-pilot seat, with the front and rear barriers raised to answer the phone and handle work so that the boss would not be disturbed. Since getting off the plane, the phone has never stopped. People who want to call the boss are queuing up. After following Chen Hao for several years, Qiu Yu has enough experience in how to deal with such things.
The person sent to pick up the plane sat at the door. Seeing that Chen Hao had no intention of chatting, he chose to shut up. Except for sneaking a glance at each other from time to time, he always watched an old Jackie Chan movie on TV silently.
Chen Hao, Kang Yan and Chen Gang watched with relish and discussed from time to time. There was no difference between them and many ordinary people. The person who picked him up at the airport was thinking about this. This was the famous Chen Hao, the man who could truly be called a world-class superstar in China. He also ate fruits and cakes. When watching movies, he would discuss or complain with people around him. This was no different from ordinary people.
The thought was fleeting. How could it be no different? The crew of "The Legend of the Twin Dragons" made a lot of preparations to welcome his arrival. He clearly heard the director's concerns: "I don't know if Mr. Chen can come."
Chen Hao had agreed to guest-star as one of the big guys in the play, Tian Dao Song Que. Today, "The Legend of the Twin Dragons" has been successful and has become one of the most successful seasonal domestic TV series. Season by season, there is enough space for the entire plot to proceed according to the original script. Finally, the big plot of Tian Dao Song Que is coming. Looking at the success of "The Legend of the Twin Dragons" at this time, compared with Chen Hao's development in the past two years, it is completely insignificant. Will he come? Even if he comes, will he arrive on time as the contract is signed?
As for the film crew, they are already prepared to postpone the wait indefinitely. You don't have to urge them. There is always a good reason for them to come - "Departures" has just been released.
